Noumena12 Book Blog

Welcome

This is a blog of the books I read. I'm trying to encourage myself to get better about writing reviews of books. You'll see the books I've read and my statistics for the year!

When I first graduated from college (many years ago), I said I didn't have time to read anything that wasn't related to my career. Thank goodness I finally outgrew that. I almost exclusively read ebooks these days!
